Educational Value

Pros:

• "This game fosters creativity and quick thinking as players must find innovative ways to express ideas with restricted language."

• "It’s hard to find a card game that is easy to learn, repeat playable, and fun to teach."
• "This was cute. The socially awkward/autistic members of the family had struggled to think of ways to describe the cards."

Cons:

• "The actual rules are slightly more complicated, so we just stuck to the basic premise of the game."
• "The inflatable caveman club does tend to be the source of much dispute and argument though."
• "Why we haven't given the game more than 3 stars is that the subject matter and words that you need to describe are written for American players."

• "I wouldn’t recommend for kids younger than 12, or even 14, because it is a little difficult."
